GENEVA Sound System Model XS

For any traveler who’s endured the tinny strains of the typical travel clock first thing in the morning, Geneva feels your pain. The company hails its Sound System Model XS as the world’s first portable audio system with true hi-fi sound, though it’s just as much an updated travel alarm clock radio. Speakers, amplifiers, a digital FM tuner and alarm clock are all housed in an attractive clamshell case that features a flip-open functionality inspired by classic travel clocks. The device is Bluetooth enabled, which means music can be streamed from one’s iPhone, iPad or other smartphones and tablets, plus an included 3.5 mm line-in cable allows connectivity to various external audio sources. Superior sound quality is provided by two one-inch tweeters and a 2.25-inch woofer, while the attractive design is embodied by a faux leather case that comes in red, black or white finishes. Available for pre-order now directly through Geneva.
